Lutheran Church Charities has sent trained golden retrievers to the area from all over the country to help comfort survivors of the Pulse nightclub shooting.

"This is the best thing everyone can do, just get together. ... Oh my god. We're getting love from everywhere," said Luna Mendez, a friend of a victim.

From the Boston Marathon bombings to the Sandy Hook shooting, these dogs have just about seen it all.

"[It] still gets me because you feel with the people that you serve. ... You feel comfortable, and you can talk. Many times, people will talk to a dog before they talk to a person," Tim Hetzner of K-9 Comfort Dogs told WFTV.

One of the dogs — Phoebe from Fort Worth, Texas — is a regular a local hospital there.
